Welcome to MECA&D's Events, Meetings, and Room Reservations Page
Below you will find information on how to identify space and reserve a room for MECA&D-related events, meetings and exhibitions, as well as guidelines for event planning. Please review and execute the steps to initiate the reservation process at least two weeks prior to your event or meeting.
Any events or lectures connected to exhibitions should be reviewed with Nikki Rayburn prior to following the below steps.
Please also be aware that any non-MECA&D events (events being organized by outside entities but hosted at MECA&D) require prior approval from the Executive Vice President. Please email Melissa Sullivan with details regarding any requests for use of MECA&D space by non-MECA&D entities. All non-MECA&D events require a MECA&D staff or faculty member to serve as the MECA&D point person to supervise the planning and execution of the event.
